The Teams plan, aimed at businesses, offers even larger uploads and some great team collaboration tools.

The former includes sync across unlimited devices (you only get two in the free plan), a 200MB maximum note size, 10GB monthly upload limit, access to notes offline and the ability to annotate PDFs. There are two paid-for versions: Evernote Premium for individuals, and Evernote Teams for, well, it speaks for itself. You can search your notes not only by text, but also by tags, the date they were created, the type of media they contain, the location where you created them, and even more. We particularly like using the Web Clipper browser extension to save web pages the ability to set reminders, and the integration with Siri for taking voice notes. Why? Because it’s got a good, capable free version, you can access your notes practically anywhere (laptop, desktop computer, tablet, or phone), and the app's packed with useful features. Working across all major platforms, this is the app we’d recommend for anyone looking to get started. A pioneer in the field, founded in 2000, Evernote remains the cream of the best note-taking apps today.
